  • Publication number: 20190322016
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method of bonding an injection molded plastic to a glass substrate is disclosed. The method includes applying a silica coating to a surface of the glass substrate; injection-molding a plastic substrate, modified with a silane coupling agent, on to the glass substrate to adhere the plastic substrate to the surface; and curing the plastic substrate to covalently bond the silane coupling agent to the silica coating.

  • Patent number: 10293371
    Abstract: An assembly and a method of joining a first part with a second part at an attachment area that includes a localized area on the first part. The localized area is cleaned and activated by a plasma jet. An organosilicon composition is applied by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to the localized area. An adhesive is applied to the localized area and the second part is mechanically fastened to the first part in the localized area.

  • Publication number: 20180299265
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for analyzing the adhesiveness of enamel frits using topography. One method includes analyzing a topography of a defined area of an enamel frit surface having a plurality of peaks and determining a topographical parameter of the defined area based on peak shape and/or density. The determined topographical parameter may be compared to a threshold value. The method may then include applying an adhesive to the enamel frit and bonding the enamel frit to a substrate if the determined topographical parameter is below the threshold value. The analysis of the topography may be performed using a non-contact profilometer, such as an optical profilometer. In one embodiment, the topographical parameter may be developed interfacial roughness (Sdr). The method may be integrated into a manufacturing/assembly line for vehicle glass components, such as windshields or side windows.

  • Publication number: 20170021389
    Abstract: An assembly and a method of joining a first part with a second part at an attachment area that includes a localized area on the first part. The localized area is cleaned and activated by a plasma jet. An organosilicon composition is applied by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to the localized area. An adhesive is applied to the localized area and the second part is mechanically fastened to the first part in the localized area.

  • Publication number: 20150318527
    Abstract: A method for treating an electrochemical membrane includes providing a porous film having a first outer surface and a second opposed outer surface, and treating at least a portion of the first outer surface with an air plasma jet at atmospheric pressure to functionalize the at least a portion of the first outer surface with a plurality of oxygen functional groups. A battery separator has an ionically conductive separator film having a first functionalized outer surface with a plurality of oxygen atoms providing one to twenty percent of the total atoms present on the surface to provide a greater electrolytic uptake than a non-functionalized film. An electrochemical membrane has an ionically conductive microporous film with at least a portion of the first side having a plurality of polar functional groups introduced by air plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure.
